DESCRIPTION:Philosophy of Psychiatry Webinar | Winter 2023\n\n'Concept cree
 p and mental illness'\n\nNick Haslam (University of Melbourne)\n	Thursday\,
  February 23\, 2023\n	5:00-6:30 PM\n\nAbstract:\n	The boundaries of psychiat
 ric conditions and of ‘mental illness’ itself are widely acknowledged to b
 e indistinct or even arbitrary. This recognition has grown with the rise o
 f dimensional accounts of psychopathology and enduring concerns about diag
 nostic inflation. I will explore the shifting boundaries of mental illness
  from the standpoint of a research program on ‘concept creep\,’ the progre
 ssive broadening of harm-related concepts. This program documents historic
 al shifts in psychiatric concepts (both lay and professional)\, clarifies 
 the cultural determinants of those shifts\, and points to some of their im
 plications for stigma\, help-seeking\, diagnosis\, and the construction of
  illness-based identities. A concept creep framework sheds light on Hackin
 g’s ‘looping effects’ – which I illustrate using the creeping concept of t
 rauma – and on possible ironic effects of the rising public attention to m
 ental illness.\n\nThe webinar is free but registration is required: https:
